Question

A homeowner uses four wooden beams to build the perimeter of a rectangular deck. Each wooden beam has an equal length of x feet. He uses two beams for two sides of the deck, and he cuts off 2 feet from each of the other two beams for the remaining two sides of the deck.

The total area of the deck, in square feet, is a function of the distance x in feet.

Enter the quadratic function, A(x), in standard form that represents the total area of the deck, in square feet.

Answer 1

A = l • w

Area = x ( x - 2 )

Area = x^2 - 2x

A (x) = x^2 - 2x

hope it helps
